Hill Johnson & Leo

Simon is very detailed in his work and covers everything and more. He was very helpful and explained things over email and phone during the process. We were working to a deadline and he helped us get to get there and not cut any corners. I would recommend Simon and his team to anyone who needs a good Solicitor.

I wanted to take a moment to thank HJL - specifically Vicky, Simon and Sally. They made what could have been a very stressful experience very straightforward. We were constantly kept in the loop and all responses were prompt and helpful. Nothing felt like too much to ask and we’re really happy with their work.

I highly recommend Hill Johnson & Leo Solicitors, particularly Britney Chen and Simon Leo, who alleviated the stress of purchasing a flat.
First and foremost, their communication is exceptional. Having purchased several properties before, I was accustomed to waiting days or even weeks for responses from other solicitors, often having to chase them for updates. In contrast, Britney consistently responded to my questions promptly and clearly, whether by email or phone, always demonstrating remarkable patience and professionalism.
Equally impressive is their professional expertise. Britney and Simon meticulously analyzed my complex case, addressing every inquiry in detail and providing clear, step-by-step guidance. Having dealt with several solicitors in the past, I genuinely believe that Hill Johnson & Leo’s exemplary service should set the standard for legal practice in the UK, regardless of whether the firm is a "magic circle" or a general practice.
Lastly, their efficiency is outstanding. Within just a few days, Leo and Britney worked tirelessly to meet the deadline, ultimately saving me over £11,000 by completing the transaction on time. This wasn’t just about the monetary benefit; it demonstrated their genuine dedication to their clients, delivering heartfelt and thoughtful service.
Hill Johnson & Leo Solicitors have truly set a benchmark in the industry, and I can’t thank them enough for their exceptional support.

My wife and I engaged Hill Johnson and Leo in a Buy-to-Let Purchase and Simon Leo acted. Our purchase was completed in 6 working days and ahead of the Stamp Duty increase on 1st April 2025. The quality of service was as good as I have ever experienced in over 50 years in the Property Business. The advice was clear and detailed and easy to follow. The service was impeccable and highly professional and easy to understand and follow. I was acutely aware, during this 6 day window, that our Solicitors would be under intense work pressure with the imminent increases in Stamp Duty. Despite this we received an outstanding quality service and the "client manner" was exceptional every step of the way. The modest professional fee quote was honoured. The advice was clear and honest and responses were rapid even with the work pressures. The support staff maintained the high standards and Simon Leo can feel justifiably proud. Securing Completion within 6 working days of the Memorandum of Sale being sent out was a superb achievement and we are extremely grateful. We will have no hesitation in recommending Hill Johnson & Leo and in engaging their professional services again. Thank you - James and Marie Farrell

We have used Simon Leo on a number of our house moves. He has provided us with an excellent service every time. He deals with everything promptly and in a kind and professional manner. We cannot recommend him enough.

I have used Simon Leo at HJL on a number of occasions for house sales and purchases. I have always received first class and efficient service. I highly recommend HJL Solicitors.

First time buyers so new experience for us both. Britney was extremely helpful and guided us the whole way through the process, couldn't fault her. Communication was excellent and would happily use again due to how smooth you made our house purchase and even managing to complete just before stamp duty.

Very professional service at all times. Easy to contact and always able to answer any questions raised quickly and efficiently.

Simon helped me with buying my property. Two properties fell through due to circumstances out of my control. Third time lucky and it was Simon's ability to go above and beyond the basics, attention to detail, time efficiency, simple communication and extraordinary care that prevented me from getting the wrong property and completing on the right one. Always grateful to Simon and team
